    Before You Begin

    Newly named interim CEO and estate trustee after the family patriarch's death

    You spent a decade away from the family business building a career in urban planning, partly by choice and partly because your father, Arthur Rowan, always treated succession like a moving target. Yesterday he died from a sudden aneurysm at 68. During the private reading of his emergency codicil, the family attorney announced that Arthur named you interim CEO of Vale-Rowan Foods and trustee of the estate for ninety days. Your older sister expected the seat. Your younger brother expected a buyout. Senior staff expected stability. None of them expected you.

    The Situation

    A fourth-generation regional food company headquartered in a restored mill on the riverfront, tied to a sprawling family estate on the edge of the city. Vale-Rowan owns seven canneries, a logistics arm, and a legacy brand every household in the state recognizes. The founder's portrait hangs in every boardroom. So does the expectation that family should be in charge.

    Your Objectives

    1

    Hold the company together through the seven-day mourning period without triggering a board revolt

    2

    Learn who is testing you, who is helping you, and who is waiting to profit from chaos

    3

    Decide what kind of heir you are before everyone else decides for you
